Is it possible to cut/remove the top shelf off and still have a sturdy two shelf unit?

I would think so but why? Just remember this plant stand is poorly designed to put all the stress on that second shelf.

I took mine apart to see if that would work. The unit assembles from the top with screw on caps that hold the leg pieces on. Then you slide a shelf onto the four legs. At that point you could use the legs from the second purchase and add another shelf and then put the feet on after that. As far as leaving a shelf off, I don't think the unit would be sturdy enough. If you want to make a three tier out of two , that should definitely work.

Other responders have it - the center shelf can only join the top and bottom sections butted, not overlapped. Yes you could trim off the 4 top braces with a hack-saw if you need it a few inches shorter. Also, don't forget that the two sections can be assembled separately and joined side-to-side (or front to back) to make a half-height shelf system - sometimes advertised as a "workbench". I'm almost positive that the kit comes with the short slotted rods to link together the two shelf sections in this configuration.

It can be done. You just need to be accurate in cutting the shelves and positioning the holes for the screws. I suggest you contact the supplier. He is great to work with and will probably do it for you.

Yes. The top shelf is reinforced and sturdy. Bottom shelf is just sheet metal.

Yes you can separate the shelf into two. Because the top poles fit into the bottom poles, you have to get something so the second shelf sits level on the ground.

yes. you could remove the shelf above, but you wouldn't be able to re-insert the shelf on the frame elsewhere. there are only the four pre-drilled holes for the shelves. if you don't mind one less shelf, it'd work just fine in my opinion.

Yes you can. Just move one of the shelves up to next notch and it will fit.

The shelves are not removable. You have the option of no attaching the top shelf when building it. But the frame will still be there.

Yes, definitely. The shelves can be spaced differently, with several different options, very easily. It comes disassembled. You can also take it back apart after assembling it.

No. The uprights are pre-cut and support the next shelf up. I have used these as shown and as two shorter 2-shelf units side by side by not using one set of the uprights. You could do that and put your taller items on the top.

Yes, if you don't want that shelf, it looks as though you could go without. The top two shelves are each a metal frame that attaches to the side and back that hold glass. I would think that you will want to keep at least one for stability.

The shelves are made of tempered glass and I don't believe would be easily cut. However, they are designed to fit the dimensions of the cabinet which should fit nicely between the wall studs. The two shelves CAN be placed at whatever height you decide very easily. I find the quality to be very good and I like the cabinet very much.

Why not? It can be done, it is of hard material, except that you will have divider instead of a shelf. Is that what you need? LehighandMe

No. Although sturdy, these units simply snap together, and there would be some flex, so the likelihood of things falling off the shelf is about 95%.

Yes you can remove the shelf. The dimensions of the middle shelving unit are 18.25"W x 14"D x 17"H.

You can do it by not installing the metal sheet of one shelf. This metal sheet is supported by two rods. You can also eliminate one rod but it might result in a less strong bookcase.
